Winemaking is a collage of art, science, intuition and tradition. It is the passion that we live by and the bond that brings us all together. Trinchero Family Estates was founded in 1948 when the Trinchero Family purchased the Sutter Home winery and Bob Trinchero infamously created White Zinfandel - the wine that changed the way American's enjoy wine. Trinchero Family Estates has been carrying on the tradition of innovation and the family values for more than 65 years and has grown into the second largest family-owned wine company in the country.
